What’s the cause?

Hi, I’m rubbish with building and diy knowledge so I thought I’d ask you experts!
Over the last couple of months I’ve noticed a water mark and damp/mould in corner of upstairs window.
Obviously we’ve had a lot of rain, I am due to have whole of house repointed next month as there’s little holes everywhere, could that be the cause? But I’ve also noticed the upvc window in question has started to get misty at times.
What’s people’s thoughts on cause and solution?
Many thanks

    It may well be condensation, so possibly worth getting a dehumidifier. Misted up glazing units could be the unit has blown, but they can be replaced without the whole window being replaced.

    Also check the sealant around the exterior of the frame is good. Water could be getting in around the frame if not.
